The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Halfway Through Destroying The Village To “Save” It, The Second Thoughts Kick In

by Smitty Prediction: the “Yeah, maybe we went too far” genre will going to ‘splode as the rot of the Obama Administration is exposed, and even the most useful idiots (I’m not enough of a Carol Horton scholar to know how well this shoe fits–I mean UIs in general) grasp that people aren’t quite the […]

Internal Civil War Raging (Not Raging)?

by Smitty The visible kulturkampf is undeniable. The Left seeks to continue to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” into a single “managed liberty” State, with Lefty pencil-necks guiding us. I get that. As Mueller’s Folly winds down, we’re learning that the shenanigans may not have started with the Trump campaign: The Obama Administration […]

The Parental Trump

by Smitty I wear my conscience on my sleeve. When made sincerely aware of offense given, fixing the problem now, Now, NOW! is an imperative to me. As a child, Dad would send me to my room to stew over my indiscretion for a while, prior to summoning me for discipline. As a father, I […]

Get Stuffed, Senior Chief @MalcolmNance

by Smitty I spent some time on Twitter today doing something wildly unusual for me: defending Senator John McCain over the (as yet unproven) allegation that McCain caused the USS Forrestal disaster. I’m no fan of the old war horse, and wish he’d retired a couple decades back. Yet, Senior Chief, your sanctimonious denunciation of […]

The Profound Sadness of Christine Emba

At times, he leans into an oddly conspiratorial obsession with “neo-Marxist” liberal professors meaning to march us to the gulag via the gender equity in the classroom .?.?. or something. And […]

Outtakes From A Leadership Book By Some Guy Whom Troops Would Only Follow Out Of Morbid Curiosity

by Smitty And I looked at the top of Trump's head, and it snarled at me.The Tribble. I had to stop it.Nobody but me, with my innate xenobiological sense, could even detect the heinous alien menace that had possessed this otherwise quotidian buffoon. — I Came; I Saw; I Got Over Macho Grande (@smitty_one_each) April […]

Poor Wee Paul Ryan

by Smitty So the Speaker is ejecting. Along with guys like Trey Gowdy. Podhoretz is a doom-peddler, all emphasis mine: John Boehner, his predecessor, quit rather than suffer through a challenge from the bomb throwers in the Republican House conference. There’s no precedent for this in American history. The Speakership has been one of the […]

It’s Not Over ‘Til He Pops The Question
